"Space-the final frontier...These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and
new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before."
Sounds familiar doesn't it? The preamble above is from histories most famous
and influential television series ever, Star Trek. Star Trek has evolved into
one of the biggest cults today. Even after two decades, its syndicated shows
are watch over and over again by many different generations of people. In this
feature file I will list the shows in order by their season, and also give a
little explanation about what happen in each show. I will not try to say to
much so that other young trekkie fans who have not seen most of these shows
will not be upset that I disclosed what happen in them.
Star Trek was first air on September 8th, 1966. The show lasted a total of
three seasons on NBC before it was canceled 1969. During those three seasons a
total of 79 episode were filmed. During the 1973-75 saturday morning cartoon
seasons, Star Trek came back in a cartoon form with the original voices of the
cast doing their own character. Then in 1980, do to popular demand from the
trekkie groups across the nation, Star Trek: The motion picture was filmed and
released. This film was a big success and promoted them to film another film
entitled, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In this film Kirks old enemy from
the episode "Space Seed" Khan (Richardo Montalban) has escaped from the planet
that Kirk imprisoned him on 15 years ago. In Trek II we find out the Kirk has
a son named David, and Spock gives his life in order to save the Enterprise
from Khan who has triggered the Genesis Device (which is a device that makes
life from lifelessness, created my Dr. Carol Marcus and he son David). In
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, we find out that Spocks body was still
alive but his soul (brain) is possessed by Dr McCoy and the crew of the
Enterprise must steal their ship back and go and rescue Spock from the Genesis
planet. In this movie we see the final voyage of the Starship Enterprise and
we see the death of Kirks son David. Since the last movie, resent rumor has it
that they have started to film a forth Star Trek Movie, and who knows what this
will be (authors note: The last Star Trek movie was directed by Leonard Nimoy,
Mr.Spock as he is better known to trekkies).
The creator of Star Trek is Gene Roddenberry. Mr. Roddenberry will admit
that he borrowed from many other sci-fi shows from earlm%d dates in order to
get some ideas for Star Trek. No one really knows why Star Trek was so
popular. For its time it dealt with many things that people were just
beginning to understand, like space travel, lasers, etc. Many actors played in
the Star Trek series, the most known are: William Shatner as Capt. James T.
Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as Mr.Spock, DeForest Kelly as Dr.Leonard "Bones" McCoy,
James Doohan as Engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, Nichelle Nichola as Uhura,
George Takei as Mr.Sulu, and Walter Koeing as Ensign Pavel Chekov.
Star Trek was a leader in Science Fiction television shows. Many have
borrowed and copied from it, but none have gotten the cult following like Star
Trek has. I hope this list will be helpful in your watching and taping of the
Star Trek episodes (authors note: Paramount Studios has now released all of
the Star Trek episodes on tape for the budget price of $14.95. The Movies can
be purchased for $29.95. Check your local video store for more details).
